I haven't blogged for that long!
I haven't been on the puter much, mainly cos its been too nice outside to be inside, and I bizarrely seem to have had a social life (most unlike me). I've been out doing something or other every night for the past week. And I seem to have been out most days too come to think of it. Very strange! I have almost blogged a couple of times, but somehow been sidetracked.
The question is... am I going to make this a long post to witter on about what I've been up to!?!
The independence comment from last time was something to do with me thinking about how independent I am, and how independent Alien is, and how independent I want her to be!! I think that I've always been independent as I've felt I had no alternative choice. It always felt that I was left to get on with things, often (usually) without support. On the other hand, there's been times when being independent is a very good thing. It's made me a stronger person in many ways, made me get on and do things which I mightn't have otherwise done etc.
So when it comes to Alien, I want to try to get the balance of independence right, if there is such a thing as a 'right' balance. I would like to think that she can be independent whilst knowing that I'm (and Socks) here if she needs me (us). At the moment she seems to have that... we went swimming yesterday, and she wouldn't let me hold her in the water as she wanted to do it alone, but whenever she did begin to wobble and fall, she'd turn round and 'appeal' to me... but it's ensuring that she knows we're always here while letting her 'get on' with things.
So... what else?
I've been feeling very guilty that I haven't yet sent my WISE book. I bought the postcard the day after I knew who I was sending to, I just haven't posted anything yet!
Lucky you all... my brain's just gone blank so I can't type any more!! Hee hee!!
